Craft: Make a Crown<\/strong><\/span>
\nBecause Esther was a queen you could make a crown in the class. The link below has a crown template or you could find another online. Talk about how God had a plan for Esther\u2019s life, for her to be queen.

Craft: Royal Decree<\/strong><\/span>
\nThis craft lets the children write a law they would make if they were to become king or queen. It shows how to make it but doesn\u2019t have a template for it so you would have to come up with one. We have lots of brown paper in the resource room or if you wanted to print and glue on brown paper sacks we have those as well.

Game: Book Balancing Relay Race<\/strong><\/span>
\nAn activity for Esther is working on balance and grace. It\u2019s a great activity for your kids, and lets them think about Esther undergoing a YEAR\u2019S worth of beauty treatments, and it wasn\u2019t just baths and perfumes, it was also training in how to walk and talk.

Food: Hamentaschen (Older Kids)<\/strong><\/span>

It also has the recipe for this pastry if you would like to make it and bring it in for the kids to try. You could talk about the different customs of the holiday.

Object Lesson: Courage<\/strong><\/span>
\nThis is a fun simple object lesson that shows the children how to have courage in times where they have to make big decisions. Very easy to do and does not require many supplies at all. I would practice at home before doing in front of kids though. All of the instructions are on the website below.
